His extensive experience includes working with adjudicated boys ages 15 to 18 in a court-mandated environment, as well as providing support within the mental health community. He assists clients in personal growth, developing community and individual connection skills, and overcoming barriers to familial connections. Richard offers guidance and therapy—whether group, family, or individual—for those in the substance use and abuse community, ensuring a comprehensive approach tailored to each client’s needs. With a broad range of experience, he has worked with various client groups, from young adults to those requiring assertive community treatment (ACT) level services. Richard adopts cognitive and behavioral therapy methods, and he is a strong advocate of William Glasser’s reality therapy and choice theory strategies. He believes that the client determines the focus of therapy, allowing the process to unveil the direction it will take. By developing and improving individual tools while nurturing a sense of individuality, he recognizes that psychology cannot be separated from sociology. Richard emphasizes the importance of fostering interpersonal connections with positive influences and overcoming negative barriers to achieve success in therapy. He understands that true growth depends on the client’s genuine desire to change and encourages them to let go of resentments.
